Longrange, Is your mirage a +? Could you post some of your old numbers and prop info? Pic's? What did you end up doing with your sunpad? Thanks Doug

Doug I will have to go check on the prop.... For the sunpad... I am going to do a 1"x1" or 2"x2" peice of angle alum that will give the pad the space I need.

Longrange, that's great news. Just keep an eye on your oil level. Sometimes a pcv valve on aftermarket valve covers (with no baffles) will tend to pull the oil mist up and through the intake. Just make sure you check your oil at least before each day on the lake.

Congrats again on the good news. Hate to see someone spend mucho time and money and get bad results.
